Disgustingly, my guys have been in full tank mode since bitchslapping the Bruins on 3/14. Most games they have had a decent early period, then suffer a total collapse. However, there have been a couple of games that they hadn't even mustered a 10th SOG until the 3rd period. There are so many brand new guys, that there has been no cohesion, at all, in game play and execution. Aside from Raddysh, and an occasional burst from Athanasiou, the most consistent play has come from the 4th line plumbers, Anderson (waived on Sunday), Katchouk, and Entwistle.
Toews appears to be reactivated, and will be joining total strangers tonight. Toews and the overrated Connor Murphy are the only guys that have been on the team since 2019.
Mrazek and Stalock have both played heroically, but, have crumbled in the 3rd under the pressure of having a totally inept D beyond the Jones Bros.
I have had a painful time even trying to watch this mess of a team...often rage quitting after an inevitable late 2nd period collapse.
I have joined the ranks of the retired, and have had the twin disappointment of have the worst March weather in decades, here in Utah, keeping me, basically, housebound, since then, and having a totally inept team as my sole sporting distraction since that March 12 event...
The only small consolation was going to a Utah Grizzly game as a retirement gift from my boys, and having this view from my seat (sorry for the size, this boomer has no idea how to reduce!):
